Canadians of all political stripes will miss Jack Layton

The one notable thing we did have in common was our passion for electoral reform. Both times we met, we ended up discussing certain models of proportional representation — such as New Zealand's MMP system — that either interested us, or we felt should be used in some way, shape or form in Canada. Looking back now, it's a shame we never collaborated on a piece about this topic. I think it would have been interesting to see what we would have come up with.
